What Israel is doing, funded by the US, is the legal definition of genocide.
972 is a United States, reasonably mainstream, reasonably conservative, Jewish magazine. I'm not trying to prove a point, but it would absolutely totally shock most Americans the degree to which many many many many many American Jews are of the same view that I express and fighting with unspeakable courage. This is our apartheid South Africa, our Cry Freedom, of 2021, and 2014 when James did his hunger strike on Capitol Hill against the genocide of the Palestinians, yes, the legal definition of genocide. The movie Cry Freedom comes to mind, and oh my God the Jewish Saints in Israel that every day that passes that they haven't been assassinated is amazing, their courage, their honesty, Gideon Levy, Amira Hass, the academic Illan Pappe.... . They paid every personal price and they can't be quiet on this genocide.. what's going on literally today in Israel, their barbaric escalation, is so heinous that Elizabeth Warren has come out against it. That's political suicide, but she couldn't remain silent, bless her heart.
Creator damn everyone in the middle class and above the horde resources which Creator intended for the least of these.

Made in the Creator's image.. Two little Amish boys, maybe six
Oh my goodness, I keep week! In a little town, hardly anyone around, all of a sudden a small stand of food intake stood on the left hand side near center of town. Amish. No traffic, turn left into the parking lot. Standoffish at first. James cooking with a warm smile. A woman came over, 4, local. Red, the book God will not come through observation or be cold it is within you. She looks puzzled. By now the two young son that come over they look puzzled, and James / the smile that was inside him brimming over. Their smiles just erupted, shy, close to their dads legs, but just on fire. Where are you going to Dad ask? Find teacher said, the son of man has nowhere to rest his head oh, I travel the country trying to screw a soul here there. Be careful out there he said kindly. A wonderful job you're doing with these young ones it seems, James said. Such beautiful smiles. I try he said sincerely. James should have said, clearly they're in the image of my father. Voice typing while traveling. Error checking maybe later.
Facebook, you can't speak the truth about Israel or they will shut you down. ' if you want to know who's in control, look to see who cannot be criticized.'
I suppose folks on Facebook often just find Idol entertainment in what I post there anyway. I'll continue to do my posting here on this site. I work to stimulate for a better world, not entertainment.

Sol Reicarnated, what Khanh, Creator, hath wrought.
"Never manage anything you don't love." An anonymous quote I saw decades ago in a cubicle in a large high-tech Corporation where I was working. If Khanh Dam didn't love this project, then I have no clue what was going on here. If he didn't have some love for this mission, then I have no clue what's going on here, and it's entirely possible that I don't have a clue what's going on here, but maybe I do.
I was ready to roll on weeks ago. Khanh wouldn't have it. It wasn't right yet. It wasn't what he wanted it to be yet. Maybe it's not what he wanted the mission to have yet. It's still isn't, another day or so, but oh my goodness what loving brilliant Relentless creation.
And I know I, and I think we both, wanted to do our part of helping people see, better than they might already, the possibilities of extremely sustainable, relatively low cost of build, replicable, prototype, of a way of moving, of being, and in James Case, of living as this is his 365 day, near all terrain, all but the most extreme climates, home, again. We're now starting toward our mile 37000 approximately. One and a half times around the earth so far, as Justin, the founder and CEO and chief technologist at grin Technologies in Vancouver told me not long ago. And such an example was the original Sol, created by Rex Litwiller, not to forget the founding role of Rob Cotter with his Visionary, inspirational, World informing elf.

Christianity and the social crisis, rauschenbusch
.... Six decades after the
book’s original release, Martin Luther King Jr. would write, “In
the early 50’s I read Walter Rauschenbusch’s Christianity and
the Social Crisis, a book which left an indelible imprint on my
thinking.” I am Walter Raus...
.... The belief in a future life and
future reward and punishment was almost absent in Hebrew religion.
To live to an honored old age, to see his children and children’s
children, to enjoy the fruit of his labor in peace under his own
vine and fig tree—that was all the heaven to which the pious Israelite
looked for.....
.... As long as
the people were falsely optimistic, the prophets persisted in
destroying their illusions. When the people were despairing, the...
.... Beyond
the question of economic distribution lies the question of moral
relations; and beyond the moral relations to men lies the question
of the religious communion with that spiritual reality in which we
live and move and have our deepest being—with God, the Father of
our spirits. Jesus had realized the life of God in the soul of man
and the life of man in the love of God. That was the real secret of
his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his
unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism: he knew the Father.
But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the real key to the
secret of life, it was his highest social duty to share it and help
others
to gain what he had. He had to teach men to live as children in the
presence of their Father, and no longer as slaves cringing before a
despot. He had to show them that the ordinary life of selfishness
and hate and anxiety and chafing ambition and covetousness is no
life at all, and that they must enter into a new world of love and
solidarity and inward contentment. There was no service that he
could render to men which would equal that. All other help lay in
concentric circles about that redemption of the spirit and flowed
out from it....

The tiniest remotely possible cultivation of soul is our only work for joy.
It seems that every year is trying to teach me this and I learned a little bit more each time with my failure to do otherwise, but my goodness it's slow.
My current dashboard to help me develop myself and maintain focus in the work.
The Myriad pitfalls in finding, establishing, true community.
* Ignoring dead balls, silence where the passionate recognition response needs to be.
* Confusing intellect excitement for soul excitement.
* Ignoring passionate action for words, our passions are seen in actions not words.
* Overlooking history of action.
* Thinking material change would release soul.
* Imagining that personal, ego interests, are finite as opposed to infinite.
* Oblivious to the absence of dying for true Community, dying for the world.
* Projection, projection, projection.... Projecting one's values on to the other clouding the truth.
* Passion for the external, the material, not the internal. Looking for answers accordingly. Building accordingly.
* Absence of, resistance to, Global all inclusive mission.
* Non deep envy of lsgiabeing.com
* Dying for Joy.
* Attachment to this world, or any of its contents.

36000 miles James has been cycling an impossible vehicle.
No discredit to Saul and maybe notice credit to James.
Imagine a conventional racing bicycle two wheels and everything is normal except for one thing. Instead of the seat being on a rigid bracket with no movement instead it is on a relatively fluid ball joint such that unless at every moment of the cycle the body's muscles are used to create what they fixed seat was able to create by way of stability oh, well, that's where James has been. But his wounded left leg forced him to find something different and no credit to him he found it today
Some time ago maybe Colorado or into Utah the notion of the pretty mm fighting such a planted position that it seemed that it was on a bicycle seat was helpful but not sufficiently helpful and after
Martin Luther King jr. On nonviolence.

Our society views physical abuse as a crime much more readily then psychological abuse. For James it's the reverse.
At least that's how my nervous system has always worked. I can take pain physically much more readily than I can take psychological pain.
I can think of so many times but at the moment an event in front of the White House, there was a recognized member of the activist Club, my disrespectful name for the Cadre, late at night, standing 6 in away from a secret service agent on duty, berating, screaming at this individual in their face.
I have a zero tolerance for abuse, of me, and more importantly of anyone else.
10 years ago, Within moments I was across the wide Street putting myself in between the secret service agent and facing
